うーん、古いシミなので、専門のシミ抜きじゃないと難しいかもしれません。
うーん、ふるいしみなので、せんもんのしみぬきじゃないとむずかしいかもしれません。
Hmm, since it's an old stain, it might be difficult to remove unless you take it to a specialized stain removal service.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the specific stain on the kimono sleeve without touching it too harshly.
Do not pull or rub the delicate vintage fabric while showing the stain to the staff.
